The Desert Eagle is a big heavy gun. It is constructed of high quality carbon steel. If you have never held one, the weight will surprise you. It is a beast weighing in at 4.6 pounds. It is gas-operated with a rotating three lug bolt for positive lock-up.

Polygonal Barrel

The barrel is locked into place which makes this pistol extremely accurate. The barrel features polygonal rifling. This definitely reduces barrel wear and allows for easy cleaning. It also helps contribute to the accuracy of the pistol. The polygonal barrel will increase bullet velocities and performance.

The Desert Eagle is intended for two-handed shooting. The grips are large and set at a comfortable angle. The anatomically formed grip allows the shooter to maintain a firm hold during live fire.

Ambidextrous Safety

The safety controls are ambidextrous. The controls are large and can be easily manipulated. When the safety is engaged, it blocks the firing pin. It disconnects the trigger bar from the sear at the same time. The slide lever is also large and the pistol will lock out when empty.
